What is a better present than something awesome that came from the giver's own hard work and consideration? Why not make the people on your Christmas list, or whatever holiday you celebrate, gifts instead of buying things that will just be old technology in a month. You can make scarves, jewelry, little trinkets, artwork, or a plethora of other things. One of the best things is that less than $20 can get you a ton of supplies to make stuff for everyone on your list, most likely. And that's the price of 1 DVD.
Ideas:
jewelry
sew a bag
make accessories
scarves (knit, crochet, sew, there are even no sew options!)
no sew blankets with a favorite character, theme or design
framed photos or artwork
stenciled shirts
coasters
cards
TONS MORE!

or google crafts for dads, fishermen, nascar fans, spongebob. Whatever the person you are gifting to likes and I guarantee that you will save money, have more fun making their gift, and put a smile on their face.
